So last night, I bid my MSN friends farewell at 1130 with the reason of taking a bath; however it turned out that I bathed at 315 in the morning.

So what has happened in the mean time? What was behind the lies?

Here, I will reveal, once and for all.... the dark (err, green, rather....) secret behind every step, every move, every lie...

Let me introduce to you....... the newest additions to my family!!!!!

Lemon Time and Lemon Verb

Brothers in Crime;

 guardian of the essence of grammar

Bon Bon Rosi

little bonsai-want-to-be plant... dare standing close to it and resist the temptation to devour a tasty treat of lamb rack.

MoMint, PAp, Varie Pap

Triplets gone wrong; love to be called Teenage Mutant Ninja mints.

the "not so" secret began several hours beforehand.....

the package came at around 5something pm, right when i, Busy thinking of ways to conceal these new comers from my mom's detecting eyes, ran into my parcel picking-up mom.

Trouble of course, but it turned out ok due to my previous intentional leaks of loud phone conversations, scattered plant catalogs and flipped and marked gardening books.

my philosophy: if there's no way to hide, why even try? just surrender to the superpower of those know-all moms.

So after one or two good hours of cleaning, bug touching and realizing and thus panicking, leaching and at the end potting up, new plants are finally semi at home, greeted by old residents.

Epilogue

Although plants are mostly settled, things still need to be done.

A new treatment and prevention scheme for gnat is produced: Coffee ground, used tea leaves mixed in cinnamon.

Neem oil treatment for a short period of time.

pre cooling of seeds to increase germination rate, followed by special solution of Chamomile and tea for seed starting

and this is just the beginning..........
